Long Tailed Sylph

lt seems l can’t stop drawing hummingbirds at the minute! Truthfully they are my favorite subject, and l always say to draw what you love! So l am just following my own advice!

Golden Tailed Sapphire Hummingbird 2

Golden Tailed Sapphire Hummingbird. The second time l have drawn one of these, but the colors are too beautiful not to draw it at every opportunity. There is a tutorial to go with this drawing on making your work look realistic, to view it click on the link below.

Galahs

l have wanted to draw a Galah for so long, but could never find a good reference photo. My heart jumped like crazy when l found this beautiful photo by a fabulous photographer (@flutterbydi on Instagram) who kindly gave me her permission to use it.

Blue Morpho Butterfly

Blue Morpho Butterfly. I felt like l wanted a pair for my white Butterfly. Although l have enjoyed drawing them both so much l think that there might be a whole series of butterflies coming on!

White Butterfly

Again another experimental piece for me. I struggled quite a bit before feeling happy with it. It was only when l began to add more color that l felt it started to work.

Kitty in a box

Kitty in a box was a little piece l did to have a bit of a change. It was such fun to draw as everyone who ever owned a cat will know the expression on his little face!

Rufous Backed Kingfisher

How could l resist an opportunity to use fluorescent pink! The colors on this bird were too beautiful, it is no wonder l keep drawing birds!

Banded Broadbill

The Banded Broadbill is one of the strangest looking birds l have come across. I call it my Marmite bird, as people either seem to love it or hate it! I certainly thought someone had, had a bit too much to drink and had some fun with photoshop when l first saw it! I had to do some research to believe it!​I have added a step by step guide to drawing the feathers on the chest of this bird. Click the link below to view it.

Chameleon 3

My third chameleon. l couldn't resist the gorgeous colors. l worked really big for this piece, approx 18x24 inches! So it took forever! l used a lot of my new Holbein pencils on this piece for their vibrant colours, as well as my usual Caran D'ache Luminance and Pablos and Faber Castell Polychromos. lt is on cream Stonehenge paper.

Betta Fish 6

The obsession continues! l am sorry but l love them! Check out the tips page for tutorials on drawing scales and fins. For a step by step guide to drawing fish fins click the link below
